At home – in Germany – the crossover will cost about 20 thousand euros. Production of the model is already set up at the plant in Palmela, Portugal. On the prospects for the emergence of the German novelty in Russia it is still difficult to say something definite, at least from the Russian office of the company does not come out with any specifics. One of the possible scenarios for the development of events may be the deployment of a “ti- roka ” assembly at an enterprise in Kaluga, where the new Tiguan was recently launched into the series. In any case, we should get acquainted with the Volkswagen T-Rock 2019-2020 year closer, the benefit is in the presence of photos, equipment and prices, car specifications.

External dimensions and design

The new Volkswagen crossover is based on the modular MQB platform already used by Seat Ibiza , Polo 6 and Audi Q2. The dimensions of the body of the “German” are comparable with the dimensions of other small parkboards: length is 4234 mm, width – 1819 mm, height – 1573 mm. The wheelbase is 2603 mm, the front and rear track are 1546 and 1541 mm, respectively.

The appearance of the serial version of “ti-roka” incorporates the features of the same-name prototype of 2019 and the T-Prime Concept GTE 2019 show car. The final design turned out to be Volkswagenically strict and restrained, but at the same time not devoid of dynamic notes. When decorating the bow of the body, many details were drawn with an eye on the concept of three years ago. Explicit borrowing is seen in the decor of the headlights and the radiator grille, which are combined into one visual unit, stretched across the entire width of the car and underlined by a chrome strip.

Part of the lighting elements, namely the navigation lights, turn signals and fog lights, are carried out on the bumper. There are two possible versions of daylight and turn signals. In the initial versions of T-Roc modules are made in the form of separate blocks, and in more expensive ones – in the format of a single ring-shaped section, when turning indicators are turned from white to orange. Fog lights are integrated in the very corners of the front bumper and are equipped with cornering lights.

T-Roc stern design

The stern of the new Volkswagen T-Rock is formed by fashionable LED lights with three-dimensional graphics, an original bumper with a pronounced sport diffuser and a compact rectangular tailgate, topped by an impressive spoiler. In the profile, the crossover demonstrates a cup-shaped roof with highly inclined front and rear posts, a high window line, short overhangs (831 and 800 mm), poured sidewalls with strict horizontal ribs, powerful wheel arches. From the side perspective, “ti-rock” looks especially energetic, dynamic and venturesome.

The smallest Volkswagen all-terrain vehicle is the first among the brethren to try on the two-color body color. For the novelty prepared ten shades – Deep Black, Pure White Uni, Black Oak Brown Metallic, Curcuma Yellow Metallic, White Silver Metallic, Indium Gray Metallic, Energetic Orange Metallic, Urano Gray Uni, Atlantic Blue Metallic, Ravenna Blue. Of all the colors for the contrasting color of the roof, the front pillars and the “legs” of the side mirrors, only the first three enamels – black, white and brown metallic – can be used.

In addition to the classic performance, the new T-Rock will be offered in special versions of Style and Sport, featuring exterior decor and interior decoration. Modification of the Style when viewed from the outside will give out a contrasting roof painted in one of four colors, and 17-inch Mayfield cast wheels also with four possible shades. Variations in the Sport are even easier to identify: tinted rear windows and lanterns, a black roof, red brake callipers, fog lamps, 17-inch Kulmbach light-alloy wheels with two color options.

Finishing schemes and electronic equipment

The salon of the new compact crossover VW Group has much in common with the interior of the latest Polo hatchback. Differences in the layout of the front panel of the two models are except in the configuration of the deflectors: in “ti-roka”, the central nozzles are located on both sides of the multimedia display, and in the case of a five-door passenger car under it. Well and still at a steamer the additional washer of management of modes of a drive on an inter-pass tunnel can appear. Otherwise, the interior of the car is very similar, as is the arsenal of available equipment.
